Bettina Disco Collection

Good Morning Babes! Today I'm really excited to show you Bettina's new limited edition Disco Collection. As soon as I saw the picture I rushed to place my order. Bettina describes this collection as "back to the 70's with multi-dimensional color flash achieved with glass particles carefully controlled in shape and size", and I love what she came up with! All of the polishes applied a bit on the sheer side and needed 3 coats to reach opacity (I could see VNL in some pictures with flash but its definitely not noticeable in person). Just like all my Bettina's the formula is amazing and a very easy paint, most requiring no clean up. Dry time is good when comparing to other brands, but for Bettina who has super fast drying polish its a little on the slow side but still good. I used no TC in these swatches. The lighting is different on some of the pictures because some were taken inside, some outside, with and without flash, whatever I had to do to capture the true color of these polishes. OK so onto the yummy goodness...

Peace - is what I would call sour apple green shimmer with gold and green micro glitter. I want to say that I saw flashes of pink micro glitter also but I don't know because the color is so blindingly bright! This is my least favorite of the group just because I'm very particular about my greens but it is still very pretty and eye catching. It translates on the nail exactly how it looks in the bottle, there is no duo effect with this color.

﻿ Boogie - a dark purple shimmer with blue and a lighter purple/fuchsia micro glitter. This one translates true onto your nail as you see it in the bottle, one of the ones that doesn't flash a different color at different angles (no duo effect). I really like this color, something I would definitely love to have on my toes!

﻿ Hustle - is a turquoise green shimmer with green, blue and purple micro glitter. When you move the bottle around you really see the purple but it doesn't really translate onto the nail like how you see it flash when you move the bottle from side to side. Still a gorgeous color that I would absolutely wear.

﻿﻿ Hot Pants - a medium blue shimmer packed with blue and purple micro glitter. In the bottle this looks AMAZING and has a duochrome look to it but unfortunately it doesn't translate on the nail as it looks in the bottle, its very minimal and didn't really show up in the pictures at all. Still this color is very beautiful and I will definitely be revisiting it in the summer!

﻿ Groovie - ah the hot pink of the group. I love this color and its my second favorite of the collection! Hot pink shimmer with hot pink and blue micro glitter. PERFECTION! There is no duochrome effect to this one, however it does translate onto the nail just as you see it in the bottle. The blue glitter is very visible on the nail and makes it POP! That surprised me because the blue glitter isn't all that visible in the bottle, it was a nice little treat.

Inside no flash. Can you see that blue glittah?!

﻿Hippie - Oh how I love Hippie! This is the star of the collection in my opinion because it is the most vibrant and although some of the others translate just fine, this one does AND THEN SOME! Hippie is an orange shimmer with gold and green micro glitter. I was drooling while swatching this color, it packs serious punch and is very bright and obnoxious in a really good way! Its like looking directly at the sun only its on your nails! I don't even particularly care for orange/yellow/gold, I usually run in the other direction, but Bettina hooked me in with this one!
